One of the chief elements of the rap sheet on me from the Southern Poverty Law Center and its allied Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations is that I have said that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims. And here we are.
“Three US troops wounded in apparent insider attack in Afghanistan,” by Corey Dickstein, Stars and Stripes, September 23, 2019:
WASHINGTON – Three American troops were wounded Monday when an Afghan police officer opened fire at their convoy in southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar province, a defense official said.
A statement from NATO’s Kabul-based Resolute Support mission said the servicemembers suffered “non-life-threatening injuries,” and the attacker, an Afghan Civil Order police officer, was killed in the incident. The statement did not identify the wounded as American; however a defense official confirmed all three were U.S. troops. The official was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The NATO release said coalition forces would review their defensive force posture following the incident, which appeared to be the second insider attack in recent months. Two paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, Spc. Michael Nance and Pfc. Brandon Kreischer, were shot and killed July 29 by an Afghan soldier.
“We are reviewing the incident [on Monday] with our Afghan security partners,” the NATO statement read. “Resolute Support continuously assesses force protection measures and we adapt and adjust based on the environment.”
On Twitter, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which they claimed killed 12 “invaders.” A Taliban spokesman wrote the attack on Monday was conducted by a Taliban infiltrator who had “entered enemy ranks long ago for carrying this type of attack.”
That claim was disputed by a spokesman for American forces in Afghanistan. Army Col. Sonny Leggett, the top spokesman for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan, wrote the Taliban’s assertions were “more lies and false claims” in a tweet from his official account.
The Taliban routinely inflate the number of U.S. and coalition troops killed or injured in their attacks….

…Sudden Jihad Syndrome (again).
Sabri S. says
All US troops should be driven from Afghanistan by any means necessary! Infidels dont have allies in muslim lands. What part of this dont you racist kaffirs get after almost 20 years of occupation? Good for this Muslim Afghan officer protecting his family and country! Every country on earth with us and israeli troops on your land should follow suit like “yesterday”. Drive them out now!

There is nothing “racist” about trying to offer Muslims the chance for a civilized life. It is a fool’s errand, though.
Note that this Mohammedan considers murdering those protecting Afghanistan against the bloody Taliban as “protecting his family and country”. Of course–Muslims just want to rape little boys and slaughter their minority sect coreligionists.
I’m sure Sabri S. just can’t wait to get back to stoning women to death.

Response to GI, while not disagreeing, this may have another explanation as a case of ‘eye for eye’, in which the killer invoked the provision in the Koran for RETALIATION for some unrelated incident. He blamed ‘Americans’ in general for something that may have happened to a jihadist in his family. His retaliation restored ‘honor’.
-K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
-K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
– K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari

Oh, no doubt, Mortimer. Even though the original reason for our going into Afghanistan was 9/11, Muslims don’t believe that we should ever have the right to defend against Jihad–and our doing so means they can “retaliate” against us.
Giacomo Latta says
Thank you for your insight, Mortimer, the apologist troll.

There is NO SUCH THING as a ‘peaceful’ muslim. Every one of them, by very reason of the contents of this vicious and evil doctrine they have blind allegiance to, could be considered to be like a sweating stick of power-gel, they could go off on you at any second. They can be considered as ‘sleepers’. Just because they are not killing you at a particular time does not confer the title ‘peaceful’ on them, just as when those moments when Ivan Milat or Ted Bundy, etc, were not killing people could not really confer the title ‘peaceful’ on them.
EVERY single muslim is a potential Sudden Jihad Syndrome case – at any single moment of any single day they may decide to seriously act on the commands in their filthy qur’an to kill every one of the rest of us, however they can, wherever they can.
And for any of the f**kwits that would howl ‘islamophobic’ at me for saying that, I am only stating FACT and REALITY, it is they who are being ‘factaphobic’ and ‘realtophobic’ (yes, I can manufacture words too)
Janice Mermikli says
Even when apparently peaceful, they are ticking timebombs, unless they have renounced Islam in its entirety.
Michael Copeland says
“Muslims must kill non-muslims wherever they are unless they convert to Islam”
Ali Gomaa,
Grand Mufti of Egypt
He did not invent it. It comes from the Koran, “Kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 9:5).
The military authoritiesIt are criminally negligent to persist in joint patrols.
Infidel says
Okay, pull out all troops NOW, w/o bothering about whether Ashraf Ghani can remain in power on his own or not. If the Taliban return to power, keep an eye on them, but the next time a jihadist attack happens that is traced back to Afghanistan, bomb them militarily and mercilessly like the Soviets did back in the 80s
We don’t need to train their police or troops or anyone else. Leave them to their own devices, and oh! By the way, add Afghanistan and Pakistan to the list of countries on the Travel Ban
Carl says
I think pulling out ground troops is good. Using planes and drones hould do the trick.
Infidel says
Nothing manned! No American – or other infidel blood.
Drones, cruise missiles, bunker busters…. all of them fine.
Janice Mermikli says
Agreed.

Green on Blue attacks in Afghanistan? Must be a day ending with an y… /sarc. off

Afghanistan: Three US troops wounded when Afghan police officer “ally” opens fire on them
…………………….
Of course, these Muslim thugs are not our allies.
Janice Mermikli says
The cannot be our allies. Any truce, or “Hudna” is temporary and valid only until the Muslim “partners” decide to break it.

True, Janice.

Robert Spencer quotes CAIR: “there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims”.
Indeed, that is just what a Muslim Lebanese cabinet minister said years ago. He himself could not distinguish a jihadist from a ‘moderate’ non-jihadist.
